Hey alx Sometimes it helps if peeps can actually see your forum too. Example - I click on your profile then homepage, then nothing there, so it makes it difficult to answer the question you ask. As far as I can see, there should be no reason why users lose their membership status unless you set up something wrong in the first place ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |

..there is no link to the forum, because this is a closed forum with ''sensitive'' info...I hope you know, what I mean...and there is nothing wrong with setings, because this in not happening every time and to every member and not with every member status...I think, there is some mistake or a bug in a programme script... sorry for my bad english |

I understand that your forum may contain sensitive data, and therefore you do not want all and sundry accessing it. I personally cannot see there being an issue with the software, but Bruce would know a lot more than I If you have set up the correct permissions for each member then there should be NO reason why they default to another member status. Perhaps you should consider having a PASSWORD protected forum thread where only certain members with the password can enter, regardless of their membership status Hope that helps but if not, and you have paid for the software, you can always open a support ticket ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |

For future similar problems - everything is in Ladder System! If you have more Group name in your forum and if this group is in this system and if you as admin promote a member to higher level without enough post, then he/she is automaticly return to the appropriate group as settled in control panel! I hope this is ''understandable'' written?! |

That is the point of a Ladder system. The user will move up the groups when they have enough posts. If you do not want this to happen then simply change the higher groups to be non-ladder groups. This will mean people will not be automatically promoted and demoted by the system. They will only be promoted/demoted when an admin changes their group, regardless to how many or few posts they have. ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

Scotty32, I do not completely agree. Yes, that is the point of a ladder system. But what is the point of an admin? If an admin has promoted a user to a higher ladder group without increasing the post number for some reason, the ladder system should understand that an admin has modified that user and so, the system is not allowed to demote him. Or, there could be a switch in the user profile and/or ladder system settings that can enable the flexibility of making a choice whether this member can be demoted in the future based on the ladder rules? How does this sound?  ------------- http://board.ebizbd.net/">  Tips, mods and skins for WWF v9.x

The ladder group works on numerics as such, so even though admin may say a user should be this or that group member, the system will just default because its numerically based and not admin ruled Non ladder groups work perfectly well and this forum member should have no issues whatsoever in creating a Non Ladder Membership status and then taking time just to add any particular user to the new non ladder group I have and its not a hardship ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |

I see what you mean, but the forum works perfectly fine. From my understanding, the Original Poster does not want a ladder system at all. Just with forum categories and individal forums them selfs, the Administrator has to set these up at install. If you do not wish to use a Ladder System then you can simply change the groups to a non-ladder group, avoiding any problems. I see what you mean about not moving down if an admin puts a user there but that is the whole point of a ladder system, to move up and down based on Post count. ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

In version 10 you will be able to create multiple ladder systems, which should be useful for clan and gaming sites. The new ladder systems will be based on points rather than post count, so if you want to promote or demote users then you can increase or decrease the number of points that user has. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
